Montanaro, handle execution of indented regions by inserting an "if
1:" in front of the block.  This better preserves things like triple
quoted strings and commented regions.  This patch resolves PR#264.

Added a useful link to Markus Kuhn's Unicode and UTF-8
FAQ.

Updated to version 1.4.

(everyone who said something remotely useful in the last 100 messages
I archived has been added :-).

distutils lurking in CVS logs that I probably haven't read.  Oh well.

1.5.2 was released, except those who contributed only to Doc files --
Fred has his own way of doing this.

This doesn't mean that I've got everyone who contributed *before*
1.5.2 was released in here... :-(

them out of the changelogs :-(

executive summary:
Instead of typing 'apply(f, args, kwargs)' you can type 'f(*arg, **kwargs)'.
Some file-by-file details follow.

Grammar/Grammar:
    simplify varargslist, replacing '*' '*' with '**'
    add * & ** options to arglist

Include/opcode.h & Lib/dis.py:
    define three new opcodes
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR
        CALL_FUNCTION_KW
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW

Python/ceval.c:
    extend TypeError "keyword parameter redefined" message to include
        the name of the offending keyword
    reindent CALL_FUNCTION using four spaces
    add handling of sequences and dictionaries using extend calls
    fix function import_from to use PyErr_Format

The attached patch set includes a workaround to get Python with
Unicode compile on BSDI 4.x (courtesy Thomas Wouters; the cause
is a bug in the BSDI wchar.h header file) and Python interfaces
for the MBCS codec donated by Mark Hammond.

Also included are some minor corrections w/r to the docs of
the new "es" and "es#" parser markers (use PyMem_Free() instead
of free(); thanks to Mark Hammond for finding these).

The unicodedata tests are now in a separate file
(test_unicodedata.py) to avoid problems if the module cannot
be found.

Attached you find the latest update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version.

It includes the fix I posted yesterday for the core dump problem
in codecs.c (was introduced by my previous patch set -- sorry),
adds more tests for the codecs and two new parser markers
"es" and "es#".

    Attached you find an update of the Unicode implementation.

    The patch is against the current CVS version. I would appreciate
    if someone with CVS checkin permissions could check the changes
    in.

    The patch contains all bugs and patches sent this week and also
    fixes a leak in the codecs code and a bug in the free list code
    for Unicode objects (which only shows up when compiling Python
    with Py_DEBUG; thanks to MarkH for spotting this one).

INTERNET RESOURCES sections based on c.l.py comments.

convenient to call py-shell before the first Python file has been
visited.

(python): Set defgroup :prefix to "py-" to make variable names cleaner.

(py-jpython-command, py-jpython-command-args): Set :tag for proper
capitalization of JPython in variable name display.

first time a py buffer is visited during the Emacs session.  This
ensures that py-which-shells is initialized and also guarantees that
the mode lines reflect the correct shell.  First bug found by GvR,
second one has long bugged :) me.

(py-toggle-shells): Programmatically, arg can also take the symbols
`cpython' or `jpython', which makes it easy to call with the value of
py-default-interpreter.

(py-shell): Don't need to initialize py-which-* variables since these
will guarantee to be initialized by python-mode when the first py
buffer is visited.

(py-default-interpreter): Update docstring.

regex match actually succeeded!

the line's whitespace.  back-to-indentation should /follow/ this call.
